i must say i agree with you keeny the team all round is great, i am very impressed with KK he has showen alot of this year i mean he is turning out more like thurm in left back and he is coming up and doing good in def and he is great in crossing and very good infront of goal, and with Rui and Seedorf they are playing amazing football you can see how they take their time and play their game its like no one is marking them and they seem from anther plant, only Rivo has alittle of adjustment to do and he will bomb them when he is at his best, and when Shevo and inzaghi play well together and show them that are soo tough to stop

like ancelotti said, we can play rivaldo sheva inzaghi rui and redondo at once.. i think when we need creativity we can use them, but when possesion is more important we should use gattuso, seedorf and perhaps ambrosini..

I go with this formation for both defense and playmaking ability. I like Rui Costa and Pirlo and the wings to play it up the sides (I beleive Serghino is best at this that is why I wish him a speedy recovery, and I put Seedorf in the middle for more defense. Riva plays behind the forwards for playmaking and long shots out of the box like against Piacenza. I play Shevchenko because he had been consistent and rest Phippo. However and not many mention this but I think Tomasson deserves his shot other than Coppa Italia he is so solid a great player

NoNo! --- Rui Costa and Pirlo are playmakers! not wingers, they play thru the middle, Rui being the preffered attacking playmaker to Riva, who is more a creative attacker who is more at home with a less advanced striking position. Pirlo's position is the defensive p/m, situated in front of maldini and nesta, Seedorf is more of a winger.

also inzaghi deserves his spot in attack, even if hes not at top form/fitness, he is better than tomasson anyday.

because Udinese will be a tough game for us - and Riva and Pirlo played so well against Piacenza, i think they will be valuable in the makeup of the run on team, with Rui, who was inspired form against chievo in the coppa.

i think Shevchenko will make way for Inzaghi (rotation) but may replace either of the two strikers if either of them are having a poor match at Udinese. If they both play equal i think Rivaldo will be more likely to come off.

i think rate him like this is quite correct.he has been playin' the role of 'deffensive forward' in danmark NT and in feyenoord he was a offensive IM,and that does fit him as well.

well i don't know if ancelotti knows tomasson well or not,but obviously he does not play hattrick,and if i were carlo my choice on attack qould be:

pippo whoever(rivaldo/sheva/leonardo...)

tomasson

he could take a lot of long range shot from behind the srikers(i think tomasson is good at that,was good at that,at least),and e could do quite a few nice passes as well(that's why he was OIM in feyenoord,isn't it?).

well you people might ask,so where do we put rui costa then?

no where.

i prefer JDT-pippo-sheva to rui-pippo-sheva anyway.i'll consider manuel a good sub then

just MY oppinion.that's why it is not possibly happenin' in the future:&lt;

Well, Number9, you took the formation right out of my.... keyboard I was strolling down memory lane, thinking about the good 'ol times and the 4-0 Deportivo whippin'... So I went to SA to check and there IT was...

I want to see that again. If Sheva and/or Pippo bitch and whine about being a bench warmer, well, a team's win is better than personnal statistics thank you very much. If you want to be that selfish, might as well play for Roma.

Ancelotti *promised* once to play Riva, Rui, Pippo and Sheva at the same time. Plz, pick the *right* moment; it could backfire.
